Hi there,

Here is a list of all the things that I have done to the car since I got it. I am really a beginner with this car....

HKS cat back exhaust, HKS fully adjustable suspension, cross drilled rotors all round, Apexi Power FC computer, heavy duty clutch with lightened brass button flywheel, Eboost 2. argo h beam rods, acl forged pistons, arp head studs, N1 oil pump, N1 water pump, gates racing timing belt, tomei 260 poncams, tomei adjustable cam gears, mls metal head gasket, 2 garrett 2860 turbos, tomei sump baffle

Who also would you recommend for a good tune? As far as I know the adjustable cams have'nt been adjusted also

Thanks

There's at least four different sizes of 2860s - do you know which ones you have? The larger ones will have more power potential but produce power at higher rpm. Have a look through the RB26 turbo upgrade dyno sticky in Forced Induction find sheets to compare to.

Not many people tune at 12.5 AFR when the boost is up - typically its more like 11.5 or 12, which will be safer for the motor. Maybe they're running less timing to try to compensate??

Did you ask Envy what happened at 185kms?

AFAIK Jim at Croydon racing and Yuvas at Unigroup are among the most respected tuners in Sydney.

The good news is i've seen worse

The bad news is i've seen plenty a lot better

But, without knowing which 2860's, how much boost and a myriad of other things... It's hard to say where yours sits exactly.

My guess, being only 320rwkw, its the smaller ones, in which case you have some issues.

I've never heard on "envy", are they well versed in RB performance? IF not, your money might well be better spent at a number of other places.

Thanks for the advice so far.....I am certain they are the dash 5's. If that makes any sense. The car was'nt actually tuned at Envy, they just had a Dyno Day which I took my car to.

Envy won't able to confirm what was happening at the end there on the spot, what suggestions would any of you guys have?

By the way I think the boosts are set at 15, 17.5 and 20 PSI

Thanks

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
